Description
Colligo Contributor is a family of desktop software applications developed on the Microsoft .NET framework, that are designed to increase SharePoint user adoption by addressing "problems on the UI and user experience fronts".[11] These applications are compatible with servers running Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, SharePoint 2010,[12] or SharePoint 2013. Colligo Contributor has been called a “client for SharePoint”[7] because it "integrates the client infrastructure with the SharePoint infrastructure",[13] providing a local user interface that is an alternative to the typical SharePoint interface through a browser.[14] The architecture of the local data store enables users to optionally cache SharePoint content, making it available online and offline.[6] Colligo Contributor also includes a software development kit to build custom SharePoint client applications, and extensions such as custom metadata editors.[15]
